The focus of the housing market is now on luxury flats rather than regular family homes.
The middle-income buyer is being squeezed by credit restrictions. There is still a steady demand for high-income properties from cash buyers, but the squeezed middle now have to turn their attention to luxury flats instead of houses. These are not designed for raising large families, but as presenter Brian Cleeve explains in this report,
Prosperity is still so new to us as a country that we haven't had time to work out all the problems yet.
Brian Cleeve visits the flats at Lynton Court in Dublin, which have been designed for the
Rolls Royce Tenant.
